the next debate, we will see how governor romney does. but let's be honest, there is no one in the united states that can credibly believe unless they are partisan republican that governor romney's mathematics on his budget work. they do not. there is no one that believes that his criticism of president obama's health care policy worked because they are laughable on it face. you can sit there and talk about his policies, but the reality is the same policies that created the mess the president inherited. >> this is typical democratic spin. democrats have no options but to spin off the last -- 48% of the country agree with mitt romney. president obama is not a popular president. he has not done a good job. hold on, now let me finish, chris. >> is he ahead of can governor romney? >> now let me finish. if you look at the dynamic between the two candidates, there is a reason that president obama couldn't even talk about his own record. what achievements did you hear about a in last night's debate? there were no such achievements. >> i understa

no more debates, no more rallies, at least for, what, two weeks. president obama and mitt romney will leave their fate in the hands of u.s. voters today after a long and bitter campaign battle. national polls show obama and romney in a dead heat. although the president seems to have an edge in ohio. and tracie potts joins us live from cincinnati, ohio in the wee hours of the morning there. when do polls open, how important is ohio, and when will we start to get a sense of the outcome? >> reporter: the polls here in ohio open at 6:30 eastern time. so we have about 2 1/2 hours. this is one of the polling places, a local church here behind me. however important is ohio? for months we've been talking about ohio really sort of being a bellwether state, ohio being the most important battleground state. and that's because ohio has a history of choosing presidents, particularly cincinnati where i am, it's been described as really the biggest swing part of one of the most important swing states. and in terms of when we may start to get results, the polls he

because the president has really wanted this debate to be about mid romney's tax returns and mitt romney's tenure at bain capital. now he's going to have to to have a debate about his idea for the next four years .to date, the president hasn't laid out a single new plan. >> do you think we're now going to have a proper debate in this election about entitlement spending? rather than, as you say, about who is more -- a rather negative campaign. does this mean now we get to a debate that's about very important issues? how divisive does it get on those issues? >> well, i think we can expect this to be a really tough campaign. and i think it will be quite divisive. but do i think that if the romney campaign is successful in articulating their vision for informing entitlement, reducing the deficit and the debt and for getting people back to work, if they're successful in doing that and they go out is every day and wage that fight and don't give any grounds to democrats, they can sustain it. but you're right, ross, it's a pretty risky, you know -- paul ryan is a pretty risky pick because if they'

that's why romney did better in the first debate, that's why biden did better in the second debate. but secondly, i think that the republicans left a lot of change on the table last night. on on the tax plan that really is some total of the economic plan and jobs plan, the numbers i think has everybody concedes simply don't add up. on medicare, the proposal to voucherize medicare is extremely unpopular with seniors by double digits. and that's why you've seen seniors move in huge numbers in florida, ohio and elsewhere towards the democratic side. on afghanistan, ryan suggests or at least opened the door to having troops on the ground which is something very unpopular with american people. and on abortion, the ryan/romney ticket has to explain what has been what i think can only be characterized as part of the archie bunker hour. republicans have had very extremist points of view. so i think you can argue back and forth on style and the interruptionses, i think biden was assertive and strong, but certainly on the issues is which is what will matter, i don't see how the republicans ad

romney rose to the occasion in the debates. he was challenged from the right continually in the primaries during the nomination process, and every time he had to win a critical debate, he did. he won the nom noination in the last debate in arizona. if that debate had gone against him, he may well not be the nominee today. he's an experienced debater. he is a very capable person. he's a smart person. he's going to be extremely well prepared. preparation is his mantra. i expect mitt romney to do well tonight. >> gretchen, ultimately who do you think will be controlling this debate and setting the other candidate on the run? >> well, i think president obama does have an advantage here that he's been talking about the same policies and using the same talking points for the past four years. so he has that advantage. his convention speech was a lot like a state of the union speech that we've heard over and over and over again. so romney i think will have to rise to the challenge tonight. he'll be on the stage with the president. he k

i'd pay attention to the president's approval rating but the romney/obama match-ups will be plenty fluid. >> there's a lot to be done between now and then including mitt romney's pick of a running mate. you spoke of paul ryan, whose name is floating around here. who do you think is on the short list? what will it reveal about the romney campaign? >> well, if he should go for some longshot pick, then you could reasonably assume they're worried. i think a longshot pick would be somebody like marco rubio of florida, who conservatives love, would excite the party but he's not super experienced. i think given the state of the economy it's not going to surprise me if romney goes with a pick that's going to do no harm, someone who's a plausible president. somebody like senator rob portman of ohio. i think somebody like former governor tim pawlenty of minnesota, even bobby jindal, third on that list, a two-term governor from louisiana. you know, they're all experienced, all very plausible presidents. and i think paul ryan, probably nobody understands fiscal issues in the republican party better
